Patricia de Lille has announced the name of her new political party. It’s Good. No, not a good name. The name is literally Good.

De Lille made the announcement in a Facebook post over the weekend. She also revealed the party’s logo.

“The movement’s name and identity is here for all of you to see. It is a simple and authentic name that says quite boldly what we stand for and that we are here to disrupt politics as usual.

“It is rallying call to GOOD South Africans to resuscitate the project of optimism and reconciliation,” De Lille said in a statement posted on her Facebook page.

De Lille was later accused of ignoring corruption within the city. She claims it was a ploy to oust her, claiming a cabal was out to get her when she began lobbying to address apartheid’s spatial planning.
